Warrentless Domestic Surveillance
Siobhan Gorman talked about the cases being heard by the federal appeals court in San Francisco later in the day about secret National Security Agency wiretapping. The hearing involves two lawsuits. Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Bush in which a Saudi charity argues that it was illegally spied on and a class action lawsuit, Hepting v. AT and T, in which it is alleged that AT and T collaborated with the NSA to track domestic and foreign communications of millions of people. At issue is whether the lawsuits should be dismissed because of a “state secrets privilege.” She responded to telephone calls and electronic mail. close
